Rafael Obrador hears unwelcome news ahead of Porto v Benfica | OneFootball

Rafael Obrador was left out of the squad for the trip to Dragão by choice. At the moment, the left-back is not considered by José Mourinho, who had already commented on why the Spaniard is not being used in the main team of Benfica.

"If you ask me which player I know the least, I would say it's Obrador. He's a reserved, introverted boy, and this also translates to his training level. I need to help him overcome his shyness and be able to show more of his potential," said Mourinho, before the match against Gil Vicente.

So far, under José Mourinho's leadership, Rafael Obrador has not played any minutes for the main team. Previously, under Bruno Lage, the Spanish under-21 international played only one match, against Tondela, leaving the field at the 67th minute and leaving a good impression.

In the 24/25 season, while playing for Deportivo, Rafael Obrador - currently valued at 2 million euros - was featured in 33 matches for the neighboring country's team: 32 in Spain's second division and one in the Copa del Rey. In the 2,232 minutes he was on the field, the full-back did not score any goals, ending up with only one assist.
